Waxahachie, TX 75165 200 S Hawkins Street

Some houses are simply places to live, others collect stories. Circa 1880, the Eddy P. Hawkins Home is one of Waxahachie’s most extraordinary historic residences—a nearly 150-year-old architectural treasure awaiting a visionary new caretaker. Beginning as a 2 room home and expanded around 1900 into the grand three-story residence seen today, its transitional Queen Anne and Neo-colonial character reflects the craftsmanship, growth, and social history of early Waxahachie. Adding exceptional INVESTMENT and MULTI-GENERATIONAL POTENTIAL is a SECOND HOME located behind the main residence at 707 W Jefferson. Built in the 1930s, this separate structure has its own water & electric meters, gas plumbing, and a 2-car carport—offering flexibility for a guest house, rental property, studio, workspace, and more! Set beneath towering trees on a .413-acre corner lot, the main home makes an unforgettable impression with double galleries, classical columns, a pedimented entry, intricate roof cresting, eyebrow window, and sweeping brick walk. Inside, generations of craftsmanship remain, including original pine floors, soaring ceilings, transom windows, beveled glass, elaborate pocket doors, ball-and-dowel fretwork, a richly detailed red-pine staircase, built-ins, and ten distinctive fireplace mantels—nearly every one unique, with many retaining original mirrors and tile. Spacious rooms were designed for gathering and have hosted elegant dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, receptions, Gingerbread Trail visitors, and decades of community memories. The shaded grounds feature thousands of reclaimed bricks laid by hand, garden paths, mature landscaping, and an outdoor fireplace. This is not a turnkey property. Properties combining this level of historic architecture, character, multiple structures, and utility flexibility are increasingly rare. Ideally positioned between the Railyard District and Getzendaner Park, with the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail nearby.
